I'm back painting for a bit, working on getting some dark ages archers painted for my Vikings and other such things. These are the Conquest Games Archers, along with some random Vikings. They are painting up fairly well.

Below is variety of dead pieces and markers that I'm working on for my terrain and such. Been racing quite a bit here lately so very little time spent on the hobby. But as always I have a ton of stuff that I'm getting ready to do.

I love the viking warlords that Saxon Miniatures has. Having started painting my Saxon army, I decided to pickup their Warlords to add a bit more character to the army.

This is a pretty cool selection of miniatures. Not all of them are pictured as I pulled out three of them to add to my crusaders army as they look more Norman like with kite shields.

I really like the poses on these, some are dynamic, some are majestic. Details are sharp and crisp. There is not a lot of flash on the miniatures. The only things that are kind of rough are the ones with the capes. The capes requires sanding, filing, and scraping to smooth out the casting. Other than that I think they will paint quite well. As you can see, I don't really like metal spears, so I switched those out using some left overs from the Gripping Beast plastics.

Been a bit, since I posted any fresh work. My profession and racing have kind of gotten in the way, but this weekend a bit of hobby time.

I've had this Viking ship for a while, and I'm gradually getting a number of terrain pieces ready for expanding my collection.

As you can see above and below, I'm building a guy to be in charge of the ship. I decided to have a more of river look instead of a sailing ship. I plan to make a rolled piece of fabric up for a rolled up sail.

The ship has been set on a piece of plasticard and will have a bit of waves. In the prow of the ship I had to build a bit of platform as the Revel model does not come with one.

About Me

I've been involved in the hobby of war gaming now for approximately 20 years. I was the GW 2008 Chicago GT Best Appearance winner in Fantasy, and have collected a number of Rogue Demon awards over the years at Adepticon from their painting contests. Mike Butcher and I were the winners of 2012 Adepticon WAB Team event. My primary interest lies in the modeling of the miniatures. I love cool looking armies and miniatures and terrain. And I also occassionally throw down the dice.
So if you like conversions and paint like I do, that is what you will get here. From Warhammer Fantasy to 40k to Historicals.
